5 Surprise Contenders For Player Of The Year

This is a list that basically just evaluates which players have particularly stood out when we as fans didn't think they would. It's perhaps too early to talk of player of the season nominations, but it's a headline that people would be more attracted to than '5 players I feel are doing well so far'. Anyway, that's not important. What is important is the players I feel deserve to go on this list. Obviously there are players that will be nominated that won't make this list, the likes of Robin van Persie, Sergio Aguero and Luis Suarez, but I'm confident that if these players maintain their current form then they will be in with a chance.

Why Fans Should Give Luis Suarez A Break

A few months ago if I was asked to choose a few words to describe Luis Suarez, I guarantee that a majority of them would be quite vulgar. I was already was on the fence about him prior to the day of his afternoon Branislav Ivanovic snack, and that proved the final straw. I could not take his negative attitude any longer and I jumped on the bandwagon of Suarez-haters. However, once upon a time, I didn’t hate him, and slowly he’s starting to make his way back into my good graces.

5 marquee signings Arsenal should make in January

We've barely finished the summer transfer window and already rumours are flying around suggesting that Arsene Wenger has been given permission to sign one big name player in January. The press have already linked us with Marco Reus, Ilkay Gundogan and Lars Bender. However, they seemed very unlikely in the summer so think about the response in January when it becomes even harder to sign players. Nevertheless, it's fun to speculate about who Arsenal could sign. The five players, however unrealistic they are, must not be taken as an actual transfer rumour. Having said that, Arsenal have probably been linked with all of them at some point. As is the norm with the Gunners.

Liverpool Enjoy Dream Start To New Campaign

Just what every Premier League team wanted – three wins out of three and yet to concede a goal. Brendan Rodgers’ men are top of the league, surely not for long, but still... a fairly unexpected hat-trick of goals for Daniel Sturridge against Stoke, Aston Villa and yesterday against Manchester United is sure to have proved his doubters that he’s the real deal. And all this without Luis Suarez, who is still serving his suspension for chomping at Branislav Ivanovic in April. Could Liverpool stake a claim for a top four spot this season? Certainly food for thought the red half of Merseyside!

Two footballers of similar skill, yet two completely different personalities. Both linked with moves away from their respective clubs this summer, Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez are both examples of the incredibly high standard of football England’s top flight possesses.  But at the same time, it is impossible to argue that they are both good adverts for the Premier League.
